DRIVING RESILIENCE THROUGH NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
The fourth iteration of the Singapore International Non-destructive Testing Conferenceand Exhibition (SINCE2022) organised by Non-Destructive Testing Society Singapore(NDTSS) will take place at the iconic Marina Bay Sands Resort and Convention Centre,
Singapore from 7-8th November 2022.
The conference includes a technical programme that will present the latest research andtechnology developments as well as practical applications of NDT in all major industrial
areas. The technical programme will feature keynote presentations from internationallyrenowned industry leaders. The associated exhibition will emphasise the close links
between research and development and the equipment and instruments used in industry.
SINCE 2022 aims to provide a unique opportunity to establish contacts and exchange
experience, new developments and ideas with local, regional and international delegatesfrom a wide range of expertise.
The next generation of industrial production and product lifecycle management encompasses the complete networking of all industry areas (Industry 4.0). NDT has to follow
these trends by not only adapting NDT techniques to new technologies such as additive
manufacturing, but also by introducing the capabilities of cyber systems into the inspection
and maintenance processes.
The conference theme “Driving Resilence throgh Non-Destructive Testing” encompasses
these developments.
